Michael Ray was arrested and charged with DUI and possession of marijuana oil today (Dec. 20).

According to the police report, the 2012 Jeep Wrangler that Michael was driving bumped the car in front of him in the McDonald’s drive-thru around 3:30 a.m. in Eustis, Fla.

The “Kiss You in the Morning” singer failed several sobriety tests and refused a breathalyzer test. Cops also found weed oil in Michael’s pocket.

“While speaking to Michael I noticed he had blood shot eyes, slurred speech, he stumbled while walking and smelled of alcohol . . . he said he was coming from a bar in Tavares,” the arresting officer said in the report, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

Michael was being held in the Lake County Jail on a $6,000 bond.

TMZ has video footage of the arrest, which you can watch below.
